Oooh, KE and I were watching a Perry Mason episode with our parents (we're a bunch of detective/whodunnit fans), and Leonard Nimoy was in it! Too bad he turned out to be, um, the murderer... but it was still good to see him Mum was the first one to spot him... she went, "ooh, it's Spock!"

Hey, HG (if you're reading this)... I finally put in my ST costume order from your seamstress. My final choice of an outfit wound up going in a different direction from my original thoughts, however. Regardless, I hope it'll be cool.

You sound like my husband; he's a hard-nosed TOSer. But to be honest, I haven't been able to fall in love with TNG the same way I did with TOS. TNG's not a bad show, but it just feels so bland and polite in comparison. However, I've just started on Voyager and it seems okay so far.

TOS gets picked on for being "cheesy" but there's something about it that's so special. I love the characters and their chemistry with each other, the thoughtful dialogue and stories, and the whimsical costumes and settings. And somehow it does manage to be intriguing and cerebral without drowning its viewers in excessive technobabble.

Well put, Penny Lane. I hate technobabble!

eg...

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If we could get to the root command, we can introduce an invasive programing sequence through its bio-chip system, and then return it to the hive.Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: The Borg are so inter-connective, it would work like a virus.Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Which would infect the entire collective. We could disable their neural network at a stroke.Doctor Beverly Crusher: Infect it? You make it sound as if it's a disease. Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Quite right, Doctor. If all goes well, a terminal one.

Gimme this any day:

Dr. McCoy: That's right, and in this derivative, mixed with alcohol it merely deadens certain nerve inputs to the brain. Scott: Oh, well, any decent blend of Scotch'll do that. Dr. McCoy: Oh? Well, one good slug of this, and you could hit a man with phaser stun, and he'd never feel it, or even know it. Scott: Does it make a good mix with Scotch?

LOL, Scotty and his alcohol! But yes, I appreciate that the people on TOS can actually have normal conversations with each other.
